Retired U.S. Air Force Major General Chris Adams: The Cold War – Then and Now?

If history is our teacher, what have we learned regarding the cold war? According to Chris Adams, a published cold war historian, we've much to learn from history. Adams research and publications provides a ready vaccine to prevent us from catching another cold war.

Adams writes and speaks about the cold war from first hand experiences as a retired U.S. Air Force Major General, former Chief of Staff of Strategic Air Command, former Associate Director, Los Alamos National Laboratory as well as a civilian. Noted in Adams' most recent PWRNetwork interview: Retired U.S. Air Force Major General Chris Adams: The Cold War – Then and Now? (click to listen to the entire interview), his cold war research started in 2000 when an editorial struck a deep nerve. When Adams read an editorial published by a colleague who stated the former Soviet Union (now known as the Russian Federation) did not engage in a cold war with the USA, Adams embarked on an ongoing journey to prove false his colleague's statement.

Adams' interview invites us to wonder how a former KGB agent became both a Russian billionaire and Russia's President in short order. Adams also asks us to ponder Putin's offer to clean-up Syrian's chemical weapons. Is Putin's offer an act of leadership or camouflage to conceal who made and sold those weapons to Syria in the first place?

Adams interview is a wake-up call for us all to start learning as much as we can about a cold war now primed to fuel fears old and new. Listen to Adams' interview to absorb a few lessons from a notable, published cold war historian. After your history lesson, post your thoughts on what you learn. Post questions about the cold war you think we need answers to! We'll ask and attempt to answer these questions in Adams' upcoming online classes.
